This thread, and a number of threads linked from it, are full of users lamenting the loss of functions that were important to them in Classic but that don't exist in the new interface.

Are you really saying that those users are all mistaken?
If the current interface was withdrawn in favor of Classic, there would be a lot more users bemoaning the loss of functionality!

As Bron said, enable and learn the keyboard shortcuts in the current interface, and it becomes more efficient than Classic for routine operations. The fact that it is less efficient than Classic for less frequently used functions when using the mouse becomes irrelevant.

There are a few features that I consider important in Classic that do not exist in the current interface. To say Classic overall is better is mistaken IMHO, for most categories of users.
